The thing is wealthy people in Wilcannia send their kids off to boarding school, the poor can’t afford this. Same as most isolated rural communities. The more people who school in these communities the better for the disadvantaged. The people who really need the help won’t be able to afford boarding school regardless of how much it is subsided.

There’s no perfect system but the son of a third generation dole bludger being given a lesser education then the son of the local doctor or the local $50m station owner just seems wrong on so many levels. The very least that should be done is to remove any payments to private schools from governments imo.
